Psalms 43

1 Right me, defend my cause against a pitiless people. From the crafty and crooked, O God, deliver me.

Sodi me, oh Bog in zagovarjaj mojo pravdo proti brezbožnemu narodu. Oh osvobodi me pred varljivim in nepravičnim človekom.

2 For you are God my protector: why have you cast me off? Why must I walk so sadly, so hard pressed by the foe?

Kajti ti si Bog moje moči. Zakaj me zavračaš? Zakaj hodim in žalujem zaradi sovražnikovega zatiranja?

3 Send forth your light and your truth, let them be my guides: to your holy hill let them bring me, to the place where you live.

Oh pošlji svojo svetlobo in svojo resnico, naj me vodita; naj me privedeta k tvoji sveti gori in k tvojim šotorskim svetiščem.

4 Then will I go to God’s altar, to God my rejoicing; and with joy on the lyre I will praise you, O God, my God.

Potem bom stopil k Božjemu oltarju, k Bogu moje silne radosti; da, na harfo te bom hvalil, oh Bog, moj Bog.

5 Why am I downcast? Why this moaning within me? Hope in God; for yet will I praise him, my help, my God.

Zakaj si potrta, oh moja duša? In zakaj si vznemirjena znotraj mene? Upaj v Boga, kajti še bom hvalil njega, ki je zdravje mojega obličja in moj Bog.
